Pokemon Diamond is a traditional Pokemon RPG that takes place in a region called Sinnoh.
In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon's power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.
When you set off on your travels, you'll be able to play as either a boy or girl Trainer. You will also utilize the DS's dual slots to transfer Pokemon from the GBA Pokemon games and be able to link up with Pokemon Ranger to access more special content. Pokemon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr., Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokemon movies, and these Pokemon will be debuting in this adventure.

 Saving the world...again! July 20, 2008
The moment that I heard there was a new Pokemon game coming out, I decided to get it--after all, I've been a fan for quite a few years now. When I first played it, I knew immediately that it was worth my while.
Unfortunately, the graphics at first gave me a headache, since I was used to the 2D of my Game Boy Advance. Eventually, though, I got used to it--as a matter of fact, when I played Pokemon FireRed again after some time with Diamond, I found the older game's graphics to be somewhat disconcerting!
As for the storyline--it's the same old, same old. You get one of three starter Pokemon and go off to defeat the Gym Leaders and become the Champion while defeating an evil organization. Even so, the storyline doesn't seem so bad when you learn of the hundred-or-so new Pokemon and moves.
The music is just as good as before; the surfing theme is one of my favorites, taking away much of the boredom of surfing (because it is now much slower than before!).
One thing that I didn't particularly like was the Pokemon cries--they are very complicated and sophisticated, but comparing them even to the cries from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald makes you realize that they're much different, and that leads you to wonder: why would newer Pokemon sound so much different? I don't think that the cries should be equal to the regrettably cheap-sounding cries of Red/Blue/Yellow, but they simply sound almost unfamiliar!
All in all, taking into consideration every bit of this game, I still give it top marks--I might be prejudiced, given that I love Pokemon, but I believe that it's still a very good game.
 Still the best Pokemon game ever! July 9, 2008
I love this game. I have been a Pokemon fan since Pokemon red version came out. This is the best yet. Pokemon takes you into a world of creatures with different powers and weaknesses. As you play Diamond you will go through your adventure as a trainer. With that said you will begin by picking your starter Pokemon. There is a choice between fire, water, or grass. Your friend as they call him/her will pick your Poke weakness. The game is basically like the others with a few acceptions. One is the amazing touch screen. You can either use the basic controls or, you can put a little more jazz into it by using the touch screen. Also the graphics are almost 3D. My only complaints are that the audio and gameplay are almost exactly alike. The audio was just transferred from the previous games. The gameplay is exactly the same. You battle to become the greatest trainer of all time. There are still the same items excluding the TMs and HMs. Guess what, there is no more Team Rocket there is only Team Galactic. If you were a huge fan of the previous games you will like this one with or without the flaws. Well, I hope this review was helpful in making a decision.
Matt's Pokemon Diamond Review June 23, 2008
This Pokemon game is the best I ever played. This game makes the Nintendo DS shine. It is really fun to battle wild Pokemon and catch them. The most exciting thing to do on this game is catch Diaga. You try to not let Team Galactica catch Diaga. I like battling the Gym Leaders to win a badge. If you like Pokemon you will love this game.
My daughter loves it May 26, 2008
This series just goes on and on. I wish they would end and I save some money. But this is what my kid wants. Oh well.
